Last week, thousands of volunteers knocked on more than 100,000 doors across the five boroughs — the first time we've crossed that single week milestone since June. We can't stop now: zohranfornyc.com/sixweeks

Possibly ignorant question here, but… why is saying “that shooting is awful, and also the victim said toxic things” a lot worse for our politics than telling people at a political rally to “choose violence”? Because at least according to levels of attention and criticism, the former is much worse.

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. Political violence is unacceptable. At the same time, dying doesn't give anyone the right to rewrite history. He said what he said. And a lot of it was hate and lies.

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

So either the authorities mistook arrows possibly referencing a video game as “transgender ideology,” or someone deliberately tried to mislead the public and shape the narrative to incite *more* violence — and the media and right-wing figureheads eagerly went along with it

Gaza West Bank Lebanon Yemen Syria Iran Iraq Tunisia Qatar All attacked and bombed by Israel in the past year. Insane. Rogue state.

700 days of unlimited genocide since oct7 and israel is still refusing to even scale it back, the western world has taken more action their citizens calling our allegiance out w this criminal entity, eroding the belief people had in liberal international order and democracy

We must speak out about our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza like Mohammed Qreiqeh and Anas al-Sharif, who are being murdered by Israel. On Thursday, I spoke at a rally in Seattle condemning Israel’s impunity and the complicity of Western media. Here is an excerpt of that speech. We must do better.

Senator Cory Booker declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying: "New York City ... you're about ten miles from where I live. You guys figure out your elections; I'm going to focus on mine."

"vote blue for me, not for thee" @booker.senate.gov you're a coward and hypocrite. stand by the voters of the Democratic party and support their candidate because that's (allegedly) what political parties should do even if they dont agree with the entire agenda of their nominee.

Real Change confirmed today that two of our vendors have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This action is a direct attack on a protected community and poses a chilling threat to the safety and well-being of all individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

This is misleading. This headline should be, "Mehdi Hasan Surrounded by 20 Fascists and Racists." This is the modern GOP and MAGA movement. What more do you all need to hear and see? www.youtube.com/shorts/7Wc-0...

💔Renato's family is facing a tough time after his recent detention. They need support for legal fees to keep him with them. Please consider donating or sharing to help. Every bit counts. gofund.me/d7e8eb5a

New from me: Republicans are going after Obamacare AND ITS PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS PROTECTIONS again, they just aren’t bragging about it the way they did a decade ago. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

turns out you can win super-super-supermajorities of young men and you don't even have to say slurs, resent women, or promote crypto

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

i am begging you to primary the do-nothing party leadership so i don't have to clip their videos anymore. free me of this curse

If folks really want to make this NYC primary election all about Israel - and I don’t! - then it’s worth remembering: Netanyahu’s lawyer lost tonight to the guy who told me he’d arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York. #justsayin

Congrats! Trump’s (illegal) air strikes on Iran energized and empowered the most hardline, nationalistic, anti-western, and belligerent folks in Iran.

Lot of people seem to think this is a paraphrase. No, he actually said that

Donald Trump is launching a billionaire-funded PAC to get rid of the *only Republican in Congress* who's spoken out against another reckless US war. Do you get the message yet?

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

the US attacked iran's nuclear facilities while using a denuclearization negotiation as cover for israel to implement a 1st strike, because israel lied about iran having wmd's against our own IC's assessment. all while talking abt iran's disinterest in diplomacy

My very apolitical friend just said to me ‘No one f*cks with North Korea. Why do you think that is?’ Yep. There’s a clear message for a lot of Global South and Middle Eastern countries tonight. Sadly. And it isn’t a nonproliferation message.

US military now briefing troops that its strike on Iran "will likely result in counterstrikes on US bases and facilities" in the Middle East, and "likely activate Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations cells abroad including the US to conduct strikes against US persons and facilities"

At least we can finally well and truly retire that BS talking point: ‘Trump never started any new wars.’

The new twice a year HIV approved by the FDA today prevention shot costs $14,000 dollars a dose. For profit medicine is evil.

I keep being dismayed by efforts to divide LGBTQ people by putting them against each other—I’ve heard it from straight and some gay people. Just re-upping this sentiment today especially.

Horrific scenes from Gaza as Israel (with full U.S. backing) weaponizes aid distribution and turns it into a sort of Hunger Games where starving people struggle to obtain food under fire from Israeli soldiers, who indiscriminately maim and kill hundreds.

If you condemn Russia’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Ukrainian cities, including hospitals & journalists, but don’t condemn Israel’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Iranian cities, including hospitals & journalists, then you’re not actually opposed to Russia’s attacks. You’re just a partisan.

Contrast between how cops showed up at two protests today: while Seattle PD endorsed No Kings rally, which was an officially permitted event with mainstream Democratic Party support, Tukwila Police department joined forces with ICE to ensure detained immigrants were taken away.

How did they think this would be interpreted

Most cracked out news cycle in recent memory. Big thanks to Minnesota law enforcement for fueling this insane conspiracy theory by posting that picture of the words “no kings” with absolutely zero context

Will Donald Trump be condemning and disowning this alleged assassin? Will MAGA and Fox be asked if they contributed to his ‘radicalization’? Will Dems insist Republicans tone down their rhetoric as the GOP did in reverse after the attempt on Trump’s life (by a Republican)?

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

How can you expect voters to take a party seriously when people who call for Cuomo to resign as governor for being a serial sexual harasser turn around and endorse him for mayor, and people who called Musk a Constitution-breaking Nazi turn around and invite him to the party?

Excited to announce my article for @realchangenews.bsky.social, “Undoing Seattle’s spatialized apartheid,” just won first place in racial equity reporting in the small publication category at the Northwest SPJ awards. Thank you so much @spjwash.bsky.social for the recognition! It means a lot 🥰

Congratulations to Seattle's best Staff Reporter - @guyoron.net!

Abolish ICE

The FBI just visited me for publishing the Elias Rodriguez manifesto. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-visits...

JUST IN: Pittsburgh voters have approved a ballot that bans the city from privatizing the local water and sewers system. The measure passed by a very large margin. This was one of my guide of the main races to watch today: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

We’re getting a clearer sense of the politics of many of the Senate newcomer Dems, many of whom backed this Trump priority. Slotkin, Gallego, Alsobrooks.

They're firing black people from the federal government. That's it. There's no nuance to this. It's just racism straight up.

In an op-ed for our latest issue, @dnbrgr.bsky.social & Aria Fani reflect on the life & death of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi: ”In her short but extraordinary life, Eygi challenged the imperialist divide between 'here' & 'there' wherever she went — from Standing Rock to Myanmar to UW, her own campus."

UW professors Aria Fani & @dnbrgr.bsky.social in @realchangenews.bsky.social: “Anyone who knew Eygi understands that her legacy far exceeds the limits of citizenship and national belonging. She would be standing with Khalil, Öztürk, Mahdawi and her peers at UW” www.realchangenews.org/news/2025/04...

"My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.”

Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez will be held in jail for the next 48 hours because he is under an ICE hold. Again, he is a U.S. citizen born in Georgia.
